Nice!

Hows the other one doing? (it was you that bought a blue 67 442 from an auction right? or was that someone else?)

 

Looking real good man!
I've been away from here for a while (life's twists & turns), you've made some great progress!

 

looks great

 

yup that was me!
i'm driving the blue 442 around while the red one gets painted lol

i've done a few local shows and have been cruising around, i love it!

 

Big thumbs up!!!!

 

Awesome build and you've given me some great ideas for the 66 I just bought thanks. Keep the post coming!

I have the VFN 4" cowl hood on my '67. Not a perfect fit even with sanding/adjusting, but the finish and quality were very good for an aftermarket glass piece. Notice I even got it to accept the front chrome, again with some working of the edge. I love the factory louvered hood, but need the clearance for the Victor intake.

 

looks great! great color scheme too! yeah its not the best fitting hood out of the box, but decent.

i need to work the hinge mounts a bit, the hood is higher than the fenders, midway between hinges and bumper.

i will be drilling the front lip to accept the front chrome lip as well, once i get a decent chrome piece to mount on..

 

You ever gonna get this thing finished so I can see it at a cruise or something??? Im dieing here!!

Came out great!

 

very nice

 

That looks really good. Congrats!!!!!

 

thanks but im reaching a pointnow where i dont want the project to be finished :|

 

Yeah because that means you either have to start another one or you don't have anything to spend your time with. Once you get this far in a project, its the passion of putting it together and watching it transform that excites you. When that's over you get to enjoy it but that excitement of doing it goes away somehow.
I completely understand. I personally like taking them apart to bare metal and fixing the bad places and forming them back to new, but when it comes to putting them back together and getting ready to run I get somewhat depressed. I like doing the work that no one really sees or understands.


Awesome project though. I like it.
